Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Surname Wen_1

Translator: 549690339

After the summer harvest, the villagers were busy selling grain.

Both carrying loads and pushing carts, they filled the entire street of the town.

A black canopy carriage came down the official road, followed by two sword-carrying attendants riding fine horses.

Such fine-looking horses were rarely seen by the villagers, so they couldn’t help but stop and watch.

The carriage headed straight for Rongji Pharmacy.

The carriage stopped in front of Rongji Pharmacy, the attendants got off their horses, and an elderly man with white hair was helped out of the carriage.

Then, a young man about seventeen or eighteen got out of the car.

“Ay! Senior, you actually came yourself?”

Doctor Li hurriedly ran out from the shop, almost tripping midway. Seeing the visitors, his hands trembled with excitement.

The old man laughed and greeted him, “Doctor Li, I trust all is well since we last met?”

With reddened eyes, Doctor Li stepped forward to pay his respects, “I’m honored by your concern, senior. Please come inside.”

The old man laughed and agreed, and then introduced the young man next to him, “This is my eldest grandson, Hengchuan; Hengchuan, this is my fifth junior, come say hello.”

Hengchuan stepped forward and greeted, “Greetings, Fifth Uncle Senior.” Doctor Li quickly greeted him and warmly said, “Very good, you must be tired from the journey. Please come inside and have a seat.”

The group entered the pharmacy and proceeded to the back room.

Doctor Li asked his two grandsons to brew tea while he instructed a servant to arrange for the guests’ carriage and attendants to rest in the courtyard. The three of them settled down to chat.

“Doctor Li, how is the patient you wrote about in your letter?” the old man asked.

“He’s doing very well!” Doctor Li replied, “I saw him a while ago, he looked rosy and was quite strong.”

The old man smiled, took a sip from his tea, and asked again: “May I see the patient?”

Doctor Li stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said: “Seeing him is possible, but he lives in a village five or six miles from here. Suddenly calling on him might raise unnecessary suspicions. Plus, it’s the busy farming season…”

The old man waved his hand, “I’m not calling him here. I want to visit his family personally.”

“That could work.” Doctor Li laughed: “The Jiangs are honest and kind people.

If you visit, they will surely welcome you.”

The old man chuckled and put down his cup, “Doctor Li, may I see your medical case notes?”

“Of course, of course.” Doctor Li got up and went to fetch the case notes.

As doctors, they keep detailed records for all challenging and complex cases. The miraculous cure of Jiang Erlang was recorded without missing a single detail.

Doctor Li brought out a large book and handed it to Senior Wen Jingyan, “Senior, please take a look.”

Wen Jingyan took the book and carefully opened it.

The book not only recorded Jiang Erlang’s pulse readings from a few years ago, but also the state of his pulse during each of his visits last year. It even included his daily diet and his pulse condition after the illness was cured.

Wen Jingyan picked up a few strands of hair in the pulse case and asked, “What is this?”

Doctor Li pointed to some transparent dried-up medicinal fluid on the hair and said, “His brother was injured in…uh…in a fight. When he came here, his wound was mostly healed, like he had applied some kind of medication beforehand.

But he denied it.”

He touched his nose in embarrassment, “Curious, I took the liberty of keeping this strand of hair.’

Wen Jingyan pinched the transparent substance on the hair, held it up to his nose and smelled it, and nodded his head, “It has a slight fragrance, I can’t tell what it is.”

The youth by his side said, “Grandfather, why not dissolve it in water and try it on a small animal.”

Wen Jingyan nodded, “That’s a good idea.”

So, Doctor Li ordered a servant to catch a cat, cut off a bit of its hair, and made a small wound with a knife.

Then they soaked the hair in a little bit of cold water, and the dried transparent substance gradually dissolved.

Wen Jingyan personally applied the water-soaked cotton cloth to the cat’s wound.

Half an incense later, the wound was healed and a scab formed.

All three of them were stunned.

“What kind of medicine is this? Its efficacy is so incredible.”

Wen Jingyan had a serious expression on his face and turned to the others, “This is no trivial matter. We must be careful with what we say or it could harm both ourselves and others.”

Doctor Li and Hengchuan immediately swore, “We will not breathe a word of this to anyone, otherwise let us be condemned by man and gods alike.”

Wen Tingvan nodded and stroked his beard. “MV Wen family has been

practicing medicine for generations. We must set a good example. We cannot do anything that could endanger people’s lives. Doctor Li, as half a member of my Wen family, we must keep this between us.”

Doctor Li rose and bowed, “Rest assured, senior. No matter what, I will not involve the Jiang’s in this.”

“That’s good.’

Wen Jingyan sighed, “I came here this time solely to treat that child and for no other reasons. Since it involves the survival of my family, I must be very careful. Doctor Li, I hope you can understand.”

“Senior, please don’t say that. My life and livelihood were all given to me by my master. We’re only asking for a prescription.

What’s more, we’re only asking for the medicine and have no intention of robbing them. As long as we offer a generous reward and promise their family’s well-being, I’m sure the Jiangs will be willing.”

“Well, let’s hope so.” Wen Jingyan sighed lightly, “We cannot rush this matter. Let’s go have a look first and then make a plan.

The family has been keeping it a secret all this time and it seems they don’t want others to know. If we rush to ask for the medicine, it will certainly make them resistant.”

We must proceed with caution.

“Alright, I’ll take senior to Chen Village tomorrow.” Doctor Li said.

“Hmm.”

The next day, Yingbao was taking her younger brothers for a stroll, leading a deer.

Suddenly, she saw a carriage entering the village and slowly stopping in front of her uncle’s house.

Three people got out of the carriage, two elderly men and a young man, among whom was Doctor Li.

Curious villagers quickly gathered round to watch the spectacle.

The three men stood at the gate of the yard, and Doctor Li loudly asked, “Is

Brother Jiang at home?”

When Old Man Jiang heard the voice, he came out to see it was Doctor Li, and immediately went forward to greet him. “So it’s you, Brother Li. What brings you here today?”

Doctor Li laughed, “My senior, Wen Jingyan, happened to be passing through this area and was impressed by the beautiful scenery here, so he wanted to come and take a look.”

“That’s wonderful.” Old Man Jiang laughed and greeted Wen Jingyan, “Mr. Wen, please come in and sit down.”

Wen Jingyan quickly returned the greeting, “I’m sorry for intruding, Brother

Jiang. ”

“Not at all.” Old Jiang laughed and ushered the men inside.

Wen Hengchuan also came forward to greet, “Junior Wen Hengchuan, nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang.”

Old Man Jiang blinked, it was the first time someone had called him ‘Mr.’, and he felt immediately dignified. “Hehe, this young man is…”

Wen Jingyan laughed, “He’s my eldest grandson, named Hengchuan. Brother

Jiang, just call him Hengchuan.”

“Ah? Hahaha, good, good, Hengchuan, come in quickly.”

Old Man Jiang led the three men into the courtyard. Because it was a bit dark inside, he arranged a few benches under the persimmon tree, brought out a small dining table, and invited the guests to sit down.

Lady Jiang hurriedly went to boil tea.

As there was no tea in the house and she felt it inappropriate to serve plain boiled water, she brewed a pot of water with fresh bamboo leaves instead.

Yingbao also came to see what was going on, having heard them claim they were of the Wen family, her heart jumped.

‘Wen,’ was it the same ‘Wen’ as from Sister Wen’s family?

She quickly took her brothers home, then ran back to eavesdrop on their conversation..
